"World leaders are aware of killings and rapes committed by warring parties in DRC and choose to disregard them.

US, EU & AU officials must prioritize stopping human rights abuses.

Until diplomats impose consequences on the backers of M23 & Wazalendo, Congolese civilians will continue to suffer."

We @amnesty.org urge the EU to
👉Speak out unequivocally on serious abuses & repressive trends in India
👉Be clear that deepening bilateral relations will be linked to concrete, measurable progress on human rights
👉Ensure human rights remain at the very heart of EU-India relations.

🎂 Happy birthday to Chinese journalist Zhang Zhan.

After a brief moment of freedom, she has now spent over a year detained on vague criminal charges, awaiting an unfair trial.

Out today!

My talented friend @kimberlytso.bsky.social has written a delightful picture book about a real-life chicken that played tic tac toe in an arcade in New York City’s Chinatown. With beautiful illustration by Louie Chin.

Find it on bookshop.org and/or your local independent bookstore!

Great to see Cuban rights defender José Daniel Ferrer speak at @europarl.europa.eu yesterday.

He reminds us: “Those arrested in 2021 face constant threats of being sent back to prison for our political activism and even in my case for my humanitarian activism."
